I dont want to be a whiny beeytoch, but I really dont like this new flickr update. Its pretty and all, but it’s just not as efficient as the old version. They rearranged way too much.

Author Cat Winter’s interviews me about working on the cover of In The Shadow Of Blackbirds, and some other related stuff :)

WHERE HE IS NOT (part 2)

WHERE HE IS NOT (part 1)

Some of Koffee’s favorite spots.

*Had to split this into two parts as Tumblr only allows 10 images in each post.

and one more for good measure.

I was going through my files so I can start doing some work again and stumbled upon some multiple exposures test shots. I think this one is a good representation of my current state mind.

2003-2013

I wanted to write something about my amazing dog Koffee who died 2 weeks ago. But I think I want to keep it to myself. I dont want to share what I have left of him. He was the best. and he will be missed.

Kodak TMax P3200 Film to be Discontinued :(

“Due to low sales volume, Kodak is ending production of KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX P3200 Film (TMZ). The demand for ultra-high speed B&W film has declined significantly, and it is no longer practical to coat such a small volume of product.” 

This sucks. Its the only (ultra) high speed film I used regularly. Although I have recently decided to switch to Delta 3200, I am saddened by this news. Time to stock up, bitches.

In The Shadow Of Blackbirds

I’m please to be able to finally show you the cover art that I did for the upcoming (April 2013) novel, In The Shadow Of Blackbirds by Cat Winters, published by Amulet Books/Abrams. The Beautiful design is by the awesomely talented Maria Middleton.

Been working away, busy season seems to have stretched over into summer this year, which, I guess is nice. I have a couple of new pics coming along. More shoots in the coming weeks, so have no fear, it wont just be instagram pics of my cameras for much longer!

Speaking of pics of my cameras, heres a random picture I found in one of my old folder. Its my very first “Professional” DSLR (its professional coz it says so on the body ;). The Kodak DCS 315 with a whopping 1.5mp sensor! That was some serious shit back then (I think it was 1998)  If I am remembering correctly, this camera cost me about $2500 bucks! Built off a Nikon Pronea 6i SLR, it was nothing more then a piece of shit consumer camera with a rubberized brick glued to the bottom of it. My old Motorola Razr cell phone took better pictures! Ok, maybe not that bad, but pretty bad. Though there are a few shots from this camera that I still enjoy and keep in my portfolio to this day, in particular the “Unknown To Me” series from last years 365 project. Ahh, those were the days…And what the hell was with that piece of shit zoom lens on it?! I guess I was always a Tamron fan :)

Good lord, this thing’s storage were PC cards!

Anyhoo, yeah, more fun stuff to come! So dont give up on me just yet!

Polaroid 195 Land Camera on Flickr.

Been missing the hell outta this guy lately. I had to sell it off a couple of years ago. I dont currently have a good working polaroid camera. It’s sad. I dont know what I’ll do….

All Good Things… on Flickr.

Sold my Mamiya RZ67 PII today. Gonna miss the shit out of it. But you know me, gotta keep on keepin’ on…

This is one of the last polaroids from the camera. I had a few left in the pack that I had to finish off. Pardon the dusty scan.

This is Elena & Eli, two awesome peeps that put up with my crap :)

Both are wearing neck ruffs that I made. I want to make more, we’ll see, theyre kind of a bitch to make.
